a corridor in the labyrinth. seems like a simple environment but i waffled on it a lot. In the end I decided to keep it simple with just a few abstract decor pieces and make everything a little off kilter to try and make being in it feel unsettling. taking some liberty and imagining it less as a dungeon meant to torture…
Enviro work. trying to nail down composition and colors to get the right feel for each scene. for the panorama view here, I feel like the instanced trees in distance don't feel right. Perhaps an abstracted version should be used beyond a certain point or something. Just feels like a clash of style as many of these trees…
starting to block in the scenes that will be used for teaser. will take a lot to bring this to completion but I think the basic idea is there. just going to get a blockout with color done like this for each scene, then do rough pass at the teaser trailer, then start refining environments and characters together. not a lot…
A couple more characters. I think I figured out a few little tricks to make this style look a bit better. The furthest right character, the Nubian, was created a couple days ago. Then I did the two satyr characters, and I think they do look a bit more refined. There is a few subtle changes: 1. I added thin borders of color…
been a bit since i saw the thread, nice updates. I like the style choice if you can achieve it, i did a quick refresher to remember the look and this popped up if you haven't see in it might help guide the style better it shows color variations and what to do with "lighting", i hope it ends up the way you envision it. That…
Nice updates looks like everything is coming along, this was and is the best img for me so far i think more of this, all of what is going on in it. Looks like you are Nailing that style you wanted.
Okay so a lot of things done. I made schedule for 70 hours per character but I have finished the last three in about 12 hours or less. This is first draft of characters and not including animations, but nonetheless it seems like this art style is certainly a lot faster. A lot less technical things to think about so more…
some more work on this scene. I changed the way it is laid out a bit wanted to take a break from the complex palace for a moment, and focus on something more simple, landscape and rocks on this peninsula approach. I find it easy to build natural things all day long, but buildings really drain me. trying to make a play…
okay first pass at the Persian hero character. waffled a lot on the design for this one and still not super set on it, but at least i got something ready can iterate on. Tried some baggy "harem" type pants but couldn't find anything that worked. Perhaps just needs some more time on it though, I just dont want to get sucked…
some work on Persian forest level. just a few more little dioramas like this to do and everything will be blocked in for a teaser trailer i have added lighting in as you can see but it's a type of cel shader that removes all of the diffusion. I might not be using correct terminology but you can see what I mean. It's like…
